Amazon wasn’t profitable for many years until it was. Now make your own conclusions about AI.

Massive props to their communications/media team. They are hands down the best I’ve seen so far.

Climate change deniers: “I’ll be dead by 2050, why do I care?” or “Fuck you, I got mine already.”

Reality: FAFO.

Incorrect. They’re stealing from TSMC.

They know. They just insist that their ideology is all that matters and everyone should just “shut up and follow” and somehow it will all work out. This is what established politicians (read as in this case: establishment democrats/career politicians) standby. We know this doesn’t work.

This is why people need to start voting for actual progressives. Look at what they say versus what they vote for. Compared to who is challenging them.

Then match it with the outcomes of those voted on policies. Is it so hard? Because I know a good amount of people can’t seem to even bother.

Add in the bit of, “how do you know the challenger will actually be faithful on their promises?”. Well, clearly the status quo (aka, the same person you elect in) isn’t going to make the change you want, so why keep them?

We can agree that everything you mentioned is bad. But why can’t all of it be regulated all at once together?

I think we already know the answer to it and it’s summed up in one word - corruption. With nuance it would be along the lines of perversion of a system meant to be fair - but those with power and wealth are absolutely playing dirty.

Just make another / multiple deal. Silly people. Both sides are snakes - so do snake things right?

Swapped to Linux Mint over the weekend. No major issues. Steam works, LLMs work, web browser stuff all transferred over…it wasn’t perfect but pretty easy to figure it out with a few online searches. The best part - it actually runs better. No more f*cked up bluetooth and audio as well.

A lot of customization can be done on it, but I think for most people, Linux is fine for the vast majority of users already out of the box. Some criticism is that I think the UX can be improved and a more layman-friendly streamlined partition mounting + file security management.

My own personal take on top of that is: no one had a choice to be born into this world nor their initial circumstances.

Don’t know why this has so much downvotes, but clearly people do love to hate something they don’t understand.

The M series chips that Apple has is hands down amazing. Low power usage, fast, and doesn’t heat up like any other PC chip. This translates to low fan noise, no laptop/surface burn, long battery life. It’s also somewhat of a contender for light local AI use. To put the cherry on top, the build quality supersedes any other brands on the market by scale and price. One would be foolish to not get a Mac laptop if you don’t want to dabble with Linux.

Any car company that relies on only 1 type of sensor or only 1 sensor on a car for autonomous driving is a fool. The key terminology is “sensor fusion”, where you have multiple types of sensors to generate an accurate model of the world around the car which is vastly superior to what a human can perceive. LiDAR is only one sensor. Add in cameras and radar which many cars already have and you’ll have a car that can’t be fooled by just mirrors.

The correct terminology is people want to be able to express themselves and explore the world without being judged. Finding a purpose in what they want to do in and with their life. After all, no one was chosen to be born.
